A separate bath and shower offer different ways to wash, and both need space in the cleaning routine. Our Woodside bathroom in Aberdeen places a freestanding bath beneath the slope beside a separate curved shower enclosure.
When deciding whether to keep both, consider how often each will be used and how you will reach their surrounding surfaces. Check behind the bath, around the enclosure and along the routes between them. Check the gap behind the bath and the space at the outer face of the enclosure as separate areas. A room can accommodate both fittings on paper while leaving awkward areas to wipe. Thinking about use and upkeep together helps you judge the trade-off honestly. The right combination is the one that suits your routines as well as your available floor space.
